Knew a particularly... ‘wonderful’... individual whose ‘therapy animal’ was only given that designation so the owners could force a property management company to allow them to move in with their dog when the property was a posted ‘no pets’ situation.
I wish we could fast forward 10 years (verifying the United States is still a thing) and see the groundbreaking dancer that got their start in Lenin Gutierrez’s class, which only happened because of the donations he received, which were spurred on by Amber Lynn Gilles refusing to wear a mask.
Trump is still thirsty to get rid of Obamacare.
I wonder what Winnie thinks triggered rallies in support of BLM in dozens of countries outside the US? It can’t all be Soros payments.
I’m a job creator: I pay most of my bills by mail, it supports the USPS and requires the companies to have at least one human at work somewhere, opening the envelope and processing the payment.
I live in the DC suburbs, but DC license plates are so catchy, I’m tempted to ask a friend who lives in the city if I can use their address to register my car.
West Virginia only exists because that part of Virginia refused to join the Confederacy. In the century since, they’ve managed to piss away all that good will and respect.

this only the second time since March that the CDC has had a press conference about COVID-19. Let that sink in. We should be hearing from them weekly, if not daily.

Please remind them that voter suppression is a real threat, and they need to vote too, no matter how blue their area is and how little they think their vote will matter.
“Only old people and people with weak immune systems have died from it,” he said. “If you eat fattening foods, don’t work out and don’t take care of your body, it is going to be hard to fight it.”
Some explanation of how “I wasn’t offended, I was inspired by a Black woman that became a spokesmodel” and since she wasn’t offended, no one else should be either. And maybe a little bit of “this is virtual signaling, what about _____ (name of an executive that died 60 years ago and had been a member of the Klan)“…
